RAY!!!

My oh my.

Wow. RAYY!

Nice to have some close games like this. Character builders. But the second quarter was surely awful.

wow, add this one to a growingly long list of last second wins for the C’s this season.

This shows what this team is made of.
struggle most of the game and pull it out

My heart rate still hasn’t stabilized.

I’m hoping things get fixed and KG comes back, because it’s been a couple of games now that we’ve been sloppy, and we can’t play that way on Thursday-it reminds me too much of the last win streak. Please let it just be because of flu. Please get better everyone.

Ray will be names Nelson’s All Star replacement. The coaches didn’t show him any love and a lot of times I think neither do we. Ray to win the game is a beautiful thing.

Ray is a great clutch shooter, and showed why he is a hall of famer. But the rest of the team played well in the last 2-3 minutes in spite of some very hometown officiating. Pierce made some great plays, BBD hit a jumper and rebounded.

That play where Pierce got knocked to the ground with no call won the game for the Celtics. Pierce got a little angry and took matters into his own hands.

What a well designed play and gutsy call. Great pass by Paul and great screen by Baby too.

Ray just made his case for the All-Star replacement slot. Stern, I hope you were watching. Don’t drop the ball on this one.

‘Cooooold-blooooooded….’ Wow. Talk about a dagger.

Got to give the C’s credit. After all that sloppy play (Did Rondo have as many assists as turnovers?) and cheap fouls they hung in managed to grind it out. Most teams would have quit in the final minutes.

That was awesome
Sloppy all around play…but alot of good play from certain guys
BIG BABY and, Pierce were the most consistent , ray was obviously sick at the end, tony allen was good in the 4th…sorry rondo but 7 turnovers disqualifies you

what the heck…rondo sounds like hes coming down with a cold, ray is, KG and tony are sick…grrrrr terrible timing

1. Was the 66 million-dollar man, Elton Brand, anywhere to be seen in the second half? Philly is a better team with Evans and Speights. Brand has to go.

2. Nice to see the young Minnesotics get back to their winning ways on the road.

i missed pieces of this game but did get the end.1.ray is a lot like sam jones-cool, smooth, clutch, great shooter, doggone good all around game-champ. 2. kg is right. pp is superman and he took control of this game. never say die.3. big baby is growing by leaps and bounds and is really giving us bench presence, in that when he has to fill in for kg, he comes in like a winner.4. spotty game for rondo but he still is brilliant.5. what i saw of perk in the 4th- i hope he is ailing because he was totally outplayed and hustled by rookie speights. 6. what i saw of leon looked a lot better than anything i’ve seen from him in a while.

- Terrible officiating, again. Seems like the refs are trying to give us an L every time out.
- BBD was friggin awesome. He will never be tall enough and probably never jump high enough, but the kid can PLAY and we don’t win this game without him. Great job.
- 20 TOs is way too many, though quite a few of them were bad ref-TOs. Lousy 2nd quarter though, any way you slice it. Rondo’s gotta remember to keep up the focus and intensity even when the Cs are up 14. He seems to take it easy/lazy when they’re up double digits, which usually quickly leads to a close game of course.
- To beat the top teams like LA, Cleveland and San Antonio, we can’t have 2nd quarters like that.
- Brand does not belong on this team. But where could he go? Has to be a 1/2 court offense team… maybe Phoenix, which seems hell-bent on getting rid of the D’Antoni system once and for all (a mistake for them, but still the case).

In the last break before the end of the game, Tommy Heinsohn said that the Philly stat guy had sent him a note saying he was “embarrassed” by the officiating in the game. He oughtta be. It was blatant. You can’t tell me that all this horrible officiating is just a natural part of the game…. it MUST be purposeful… these guys are not blind. I tell you, the NBA tries to rig games to keep things competitive, especially when one team has been winning too much. It’s going to get tougher and tougher to win if this keeps up. Can’t beat the other team AND the refs in every game.

I just wonder if there are any laws being broken if this is true. If so, we have one good thing to look forward to… one day we may see David Stern doing the perp walk.

Ray… I’m just sayin! i love how they take one game at a time. I love the game time decision making. Way to grind it out. Refs sucked but man way to play through guys. Oh and I am not sick and I know Bynum and Jameer are down…. but I’m just sayin ….damn! Horrible timing.

have turned into the veteran team that doesn’t get rattled. A couple of years ago, they were Philly. Iggy hopefully learned his lesson. Celebrate when the clock runs out.

Remember that early season C’s game a couple of years ago? Blount hit a late jumper to take the lead with a few ticks of the clock left. The Celtics went wild, then the Pistons calmly drew up a play and knocked down a jumper. Game.

Haven’t every one of Ray’s game-winning baskets as a Celtics been off assists from Pierce?

Eliminate one of these problems and the C’s win the game by 15 or 20.
